eGPUs are often used to provide extra power and speed to computationally complex programs. Assuming the Mac has the required languages interpreters and compilers (e.g.), can this eGPU be used this way, or is it strictly designed for graphics support?

I thought the whole concept behind an eGPU was to offload the graphics from the motherboard, thereby offering an improved graphics performance.

I fully understand that my mini mac still provides a 10Gb/s limit at the thunderbolt port connection but surely offers an option to drive newer higher resolution monitors within the confines that the eGPU can conceivably produce at that connection speed thereby offering all mac users with a backwards compatible upgrade path, even providing USB 3 if the firmware allows?

Will it help free up processing for running more plugins or adding track counts since it will be handling most of the graphics load? ...Or, maybe if running multiple external monitors while editing? Thanks in advance!
